Calcarea Carbonica’s Personality Profile:

Calcarea Carbonica is a homeopathic remedy that may be best suited for those who are very down to earth and affable. They tend to be very community-minded, being comforted by tradition and history. They generally take a very plodding, systematic approach to everything they do, and can become extremely stubborn if someone attempts to change their rhythm. They will have a tendency towards workaholism, from the fact that they don’t like to leave something they are working on before it is done.

Other aspects of Calcarea Carbonica patients are their tendency to be passive, overweight people with fair or chalky complexions, large heads, and large puffy abdomens. They appear to be bloated rather than solidly muscular. Their perspiration and other body discharges often have a sour smell.

They may dislike milk or meat, and complain of headaches and nausea after meals.
